马可福音第二章第1—12节再次验证神是“察验人心”和“晓得人心里的隐秘”的。当耶稣对瘫子说“小子，你的罪赦了”的时候，几个文士听后心里就想“这个人为甚么这样说呢．他说僭妄的话了”。耶稣在他的灵里觉察到了这几个文士所想的就回答他们说“你们心里为甚么这样议论呢”。
可2:5 耶稣见他们的信心、就对瘫子说、小子、你的罪赦了。
Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, "Son, your sins are forgiven you."
可2:6 有几个文士坐在那里、心里议论说、
But there were some of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
可2:7 这个人为甚么这样说呢．他说僭妄的话了．除了神以外谁能赦罪呢。
"Why does this man speak blasphemies like that? Who can forgive sins but God alone?"
可2:8 耶稣心中知道他们心里这样议论、就说、你们心里为甚么这样议论呢。
Immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, said to them, "Why do you reason these things in your hearts?
诗44:21 神岂不鉴察这事么．因为他晓得人心里的隐秘。
won't God search this out? For he knows the secrets of the heart.
徒15:8 知道人心的神、也为他们作了见证．赐圣灵给他们、正如给我们一样。
God, who knows the heart, testified about them, giving them the Holy Spirit, just like he did to us.
